Chapter 179: The Crown Prince
The palace man Zheng gave birth to the prince smoothly, but the mother and son were disliked by His Majesty, and His Majesty never saw their mother and son with his own eyes from beginning to end, and only ordered the concubine Niangniang to take care of them.
After the confinement, Zheng invited himself to lead the practice, pray for His Majesty and the concubine, the concubine Jiaqi sincerely, so that the move into the Buddhist hall of the Taiji Palace to live, the little prince gave four nurses, four palace maids, and went to the Buddhist hall to live, without a purpose to enter the palace to see.
Everyone has never been able to see the true face of the Zheng palace people, and His Majesty does not seem to show anything unusual for this newly born prince. The people in the palace are very good at forgetting, and soon, this mother and son disappeared in the discussion of the palace people.
When the female officer assessment in the new year was held, Du Qiu was outstanding in talent and morality, and was promoted to the seventh rank of the handicraft. The concubine was very satisfied with her performance, and specially ordered the green pothos to send some rewards.
However, when Du Qiu opened the brocade box given by the concubine, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. In addition to the two plain white silk silks, there are two delicate brocade boxes, when opened to see, the first brocade box is filled with neat five pieces of gold cakes, the second brocade box is full of a box of finger belly-sized gold beans, yellow and clear dazzling.
In the two years in Daming Palace, Du Qiu has not seen the rewards of nobles, not jade bracelets and jade pendants, or some jewelry and jade. I have never seen such a reward, and the reward of the noble concubine is really real.
Seeing Du Qiu's surprise, Lu Luo smiled and said: "Du Qiu, don't feel tacky, Niangniang now treats you as her own person, so it's such a reward." These are the things that can really be spent, and what can be bought for what you want. ”
It has always been the habit of the concubine, those who are insignificant, and those who do not matter to the congratulatory gifts, will take some treasures and decorations at will, even if they are rare and exotic, they will not hesitate, anyway, these things in the palace cannot be sold outside, and the back and forth is just a change of place.
But the rewards for those around him are different, and they are all fine white silk and gold. The clothes of the people in the palace should not be too fancy, according to the grade there are only a few styles and colors, which cannot be exceeded. But the small clothes that are worn close to the body can be sewn with the best white silk, and they are very comfortable to wear.
As for gold, it is a real usable thing, cut into small pieces and exchanged for money, and whatever you want to buy, you can ask someone to buy it and use it.
Luluo was about to go back, when he saw Xue Qixi coming outside.
Qixi grabbed the green pothos, "I know that my sister must be in the Liushang Bureau, but I can find it." ”
Green Pothos was surprised: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Qixi said: "Originally, the colt asked me to deliver a message to my mother, but it happened that I couldn't get out of it, so I had to rush back immediately, and I didn't have time to go back." So I thought that my sister should be here, and annoyed my sister to hand a note to my mother. ”
As he spoke, he took out a small piece of paper that was folded in half and was only a finger wide, and Pothos took it, and Qixi hurriedly took it away.
This Xue Qixi, now that he has received the position of a permanent attendant, and he is also a lieutenant of the Shence Army, he is becoming more and more busy, and he doesn't even have the time to see his mother!
Luluo returned to Penglai Palace, saw Nianyun sitting under the eaves, and hurriedly went up, "The weather is still a little cold, Niangniang, let's go in, and the slave maid will make tea for you." ”
Nianyun knew that she had something to say, so she entered the house with a smile, and when she got to the house and closed the door, Luluo took out the note that Qixi had entrusted her to Nianyun.
Nianyun opened it and took a look, it turned out to tell her that someone in the court asked His Majesty to make the crown prince today, although His Majesty did not reply, but it seemed to hear the meaning in his ears, so he came to ask her what she meant.
Nianyun said with a smile: "These three brothers are really, there are still few people who go back and forth to Penglai Palace, why is there something sneaking around like this now?" ”
I took the note and read it again, and suddenly smiled again, "Also, the last incident has just passed, it's good to be cautious." Besides, it is indeed inappropriate to haste to come and consult with me in a hurry about the matter that was mentioned earlier. ”
Nianyun thought about it, ordered Fennel to take the fire fold, burned the note, and then took a small note himself, wrote a few words, and handed it to the pothos.
When it was time for dinner, Li Chun really came, and he kept frowning and worried.
Nianyun didn't ask, but just asked someone to bring dinner up as usual and serve him to eat.
Li Chun had something in his heart, but it didn't affect his meal, but when he ate, he tasted a little like chewing wax, and he didn't pay attention to what he ate.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and said to Nianyun: "Today, someone mentioned letting me make the prince. ”
"Hmm," Nian Yun took a sip of tea, "Then what does Your Majesty ......mean?"
"I want to hear from you." Li Chun held her hand, "I haven't responded in the court. ”
Nian Yun was noncommittal, and gently covered his big hand with his backhand, "Although Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, it is not impossible to decide the matter of Guozuo if it can be decided earlier." Calming the hearts of the courtiers can also save many troubles. ”
In order to compete for the prince, the bloody battles between princes and courtiers have never stopped. Not long ago, because Emperor Dezong was always vacillating between the first emperor and King Shu, how much bloody wind was caused!
If the crown prince is settled early at this time, maybe those with ulterior motives can settle down a little.
Li Chun shook his head and said, "I'm not asking you whether you should be a prince, I'm asking you which child you think is the most suitable to be the prince." ”
Nianyun was taken aback, such a big thing was not something she could say with a harem woman, and hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't dare to talk about it......"
Li Chun patted the back of her hand, and suddenly smiled, "Nianyun, between you and me, what do you say that you don't lie about, you even dare to go on the expedition, will you be afraid that people will say that you are interfering in the harem!" ”
Nian Yun saw that he directly pierced her concerns, so he sat down beside him and said, "According to the concubine's opinion, Your Majesty, these princes are all good. Although there have been precedents for establishing a long and virtuous person in my dynasty, the concubine thinks that it is best to grow up in order, and Ning'er is very suitable. ”
After all, the eldest son is the only one, if it is a virtuous person, the standard of "virtuous" is too difficult to define, but it will add a lot of troubles.
Although Li Chun was not very shocked that she said this, she felt a little sorry for her in the end, because in addition to establishing a long and virtuous person, in fact, what is more important is Yan.
Nian Yun was originally his wife, who married into the East Palace at that time, and was also the wife of the three media and six hires who carried in from the Jiafu Gate, the main gate of the East Palace. But she is not a queen, so at this time, in the strict sense, You'er can't be regarded as a concubine.
Nian Yun knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too worried. Ning'er is a child raised by a concubine, and she is also the first child raised by a concubine, and she is afraid that she has more thoughts than You'er, and the concubine has long regarded him as her own. ”
Li Chun gently hugged her shoulder, still a little embarrassed in his heart. He also knew that Nianyun wouldn't mind this matter very much, if Ning'er's biological mother was gone, it would be easy to say, but there was clearly a Ji Mei behind him.
Even if Ji Meiren's position is not high at this time, but thinking about it from a distance, after a hundred years, if Ning'er ascends the throne, even if he himself didn't think of canonizing his biological mother, how could those old ministers not mention it?
At that time, Nianyun was not the queen, nor was she Ning'er's biological mother, and her status was extremely embarrassing.
Nianyun has confidence in Ning'er in his heart, that is the child he brought up, as long as he is willing to protect You'er and her, with the power of the Guo family, it doesn't matter.
However, the key depends on themselves, if Ning'er is unwilling to be the prince, then it is another matter. Everyone has their own aspirations, even if she thinks that Ning'er is the most suitable person, she can't force the child to push the child to that position.
She smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and the prince is also the prince of the world. If Your Majesty is undecided, it is better to summon Ning'er and You'er over tomorrow, and the concubine and Your Majesty will choose a prince for the Tang Dynasty together, how about it? ”
Li Chun thought about it, then nodded and said, "In this case, it's up to you." ”
The next day, the concubine really ordered someone to call King Deng and King Sui to Penglai Hall for dinner.
You'er is still a child, so naturally she can't think about it so much, but her mother hasn't seen him and her eldest brother for a long time, so she called the two brothers over, and even specially asked the eunuch who passed the decree if she wanted to ask the two princesses to go together. The eunuch had to repeatedly say that it was not necessary, and he gave up.
Ning Er was already young and old, and remembered that someone in the court had asked for the crown prince the day before, and she knew in her heart that her mother had asked the two brothers to go to Penglai Palace, so she secretly thought about how to deal with it.
The two brothers haven't seen their mother for a long time, and when they came to Penglai Palace, You'er saw Nianyun and didn't salute, so they flew over like a little bird and threw themselves directly into their mother's arms, "Auntie!" ”
Ning Er saw that she had reached the age when she should marry the princess, and she acted much more steadily, and after a few steps away, she stopped and said, "My son has seen Your Majesty and Mother. ”
You'er was startled when she heard her eldest brother's words, and then she raised her head from Nianyun's arms, and sure enough, she saw that His Majesty also came out from behind, and hurriedly jumped out, followed the example of the eldest brother, and made a gesture, and met her father and mother.
Nian Yun looked at Li Chun slightly, then smiled kindly, and reached out to help the two children: "Don't be polite, get up and show your mother"
Pulled the two children, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so long, and I have grown a lot taller." ”
At the same time, he looked at Li Chun and sighed: "When I was in the East Palace, I watched running around all day long, but I don't think that now I can't see it for a while, but it is a different look, I am afraid that the clothes made during this period of time will not be worn at all!" ”
Li Chun also smiled, "How many of them take care of them, how can you worry about it, you have that idle time, it is better to do a few more things for me." ”
How old are these people, but they are jealous of these two children. Nianyun glanced at him with a smile, "Didn't you make much for you, I just asked Fennel to send a new stack of middle clothes to Zichen Hall a while ago, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't even see it." ”
